How the lesson starts: Ask and Answer About Information

Meet Bolt the Robot
Hi friend! This is Bolt. Bolt is a robot with a belly full of questions. Beep! Today Bolt reads a fact book about sea otters. The answers are right there in the words!
Bolt's fact book
Let's read Bolt's page. Sea otters live in the cold sea. They have the thickest fur of any animal. The fur keeps them warm in icy water. Otters eat clams, crabs, and sea urchins.
Find the answer
Bolt asks, what do sea otters eat? Look for the word eat in the text. Here it is! Otters eat clams, crabs, and sea urchins. Not fish! Always check the words, not your guess.
